Team Members: Erica Gallardo, Eva Georgieva, Robert Gonzalez, Tabitha VanDine and Fernando Vicente

Organization: “Green for All” – national organization established to create green jobs for people in struggling communities. The organization is based in Oakland, CA – area known for its high crime, poverty and air pollution rates. The main goal of the organization is to “beat pollution and poverty at the same time” (Van Jones – founder&president). 

Purpose of Our Team: Educate ourselves and inform others about the current problems in our community. Try to make a change and be involved in the social and environmental movements that fight for a better future for all of us. The fonder and president of the Sierra Club, Carl Pope says that “ not many people are putting themselves on the line” towards a better day for our planet and society, and we agree. Working on this project is a chance for us to show that everybody, in their own way and abilities, can contribute for a green, crime and poverty – free future. 

Team Rules: 

• All of us agreed that class absence of a team member would result in a mandatory $10.00 fine that will be deposited in our charity fund.
  
• All of us agreed to fully commit to the two projects (the chosen organization and the leadership book project) and keep up with class assignments and homework in order for effective group discussion and fulfillment of our goals.
• All of us agreed that the decisions made by the group should be unanimous and the best ideas will be chosen through the method of brainstorming. 
• All of us agreed that we should all contribute equally to the projects and most importantly give our best efforts.
